Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded an additional 70 billion euros for the coming year at the recent EU summit, on top of the already promised 90 billion euros. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also advocated for higher payments to Ukraine, she criticized. Germany has already spent more than 100 billion euros on the war; moreover, the German taxpayer must bear a significant portion of the EU payments. Wagenknecht pointed out that other countries, especially the USA, have largely halted their payments. Wagenknecht described Merz's statement in his recent government declaration that no euro for Ukraine is missing in the German social systems as nonsensical. She claimed that the costs would ultimately be passed on to citizens through cuts in care, pensions, and health, and accused Merz of making policies against his own population. She called for his resignation. #Steuern #Euro (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the planned increase in the contribution assessment limit will mean higher costs for many employees, despite an average additional contribution expected to be 2.9 percent in 2027. The limit is to rise from 69,750 to 76,500 euros annually – an increase of about 9.7 percent. As a result, an additional 6,750 euros of annual income will become subject to contributions, particularly affecting well-paid employees. According to Boeminghaus, the additional contributions of health insurance funds in 2026 ranged from 2.18 to 4.39 percent. The higher limit will increase health and long-term care insurance contributions for employees with higher incomes as well as the labor costs for companies. He cited FOCUS online from October 18, 2026, as a source. https://t.co/xVSnHFtnlK #Deutschland #Sozialabgaben #Krankenkassen (translated)
